Cincinnati, county of iieinilton, end State oil Ohio have Iieehines for toinpressing IlV'ood; end I do herehy dechire the following to he e full end eXztet description thereol", reference being hed to the :teroinpenying drawings, making part ol this speeiiiention.

lviy invention relates to ineehines i'or eonipressing wood, end it hes ior its ohjeet the iinprmfenuuit in the Construction oi suoli de- Vices, Wherehy they ere sinipli'lied und rendered inore eliieient in eetion.

rThe novelty ol rny invention eonsists in the eoinhinetion end suh-eoinhinetion of the pin-ts es will he hi-ireinetter set liorth end speeilieelly pointed out in the eleini.

urel stete sind under no eircnnnstences do I iirst either use ste/ein or heet the Wood to be treated, nor heet the nress, or any ettsehnient ol'v the seine. I Virst Arelie the Wood in its neturnl green statte, the greener the better it n'orlis. ilhe Wood is placed between two iron pistes oi" suitehle dimensions, trein shout `tour feet und upward in length eeeording` to the purpose. for which it to he used. The wood is pleeed in lny nieehine eold in e horizontel position, pressure is applied et three or more pinces lengthwise, :is shown in the drewing. fIhis pressure tendientes the snp, The application of pressure et the seine time in et leest three planes is eiiisolutely necessery, because it would he e ineehenienl iinpossihility to inoperly press pieces of Wood es long` es rnilroed ties, end get the seine pressure over the entire surface. After years el' experimenting, I have Afound that the amount oi' pressure necessery to properly trent the Wood depends upon the hind of Wood used. It is importent that the pressure he so regulated that it is not greet enough to destroy the iiher of' the Wood. The wood should be reduced to the shrinkage line, end heid until Cold, under pressure hloeks, between pla-tes until the Wood gets set and will not spring heult when dry. I then give the Wood e. treetinent to he covered hy another partent. rvhe lest step consists in pessing,I the Wood treated es above stated tlinough s proeess, which nielies the Wood iinpervious to feter, mold, rot and prevents Chipping, also burning by i'ire when hot eos-ls fell troni engines, or otherwise.

Having thus described iny invention, what I eleiin :is new sind desire to secure hy Letters Patent is:

A nieohine for eoinpressingl Wood, n eoinpresser, plates for receiving the Wood, angle plates piwitedI et the right angle point,
